The non-profit “Past 2 PRESENT” album will be available for download before Christmas 2012, CD purchases will be available from the start of the new year.

“As much as I want the physical album released in time for the Christmas post everything is not yet complete & I could not forgive myself if I did not finish this properly.”

The album has been a number of years in the making with help from some very talented artists on the collaboration front (Tim Sanders, Mimic Of A Mind, Jennae) – on the other side of things there have been a great many setbacks but rather than go into details about what has held things up lets skip forward to what is going on right now…

AORPETE working in the new studio.

“Right now things are going really well – over the last two months I have done more quality recordings & productions than in the whole of the last two years; I have better equipment which makes a huge difference – when I am being creative I can just get straight down to it without the hassle factors of bad software, hardware, faulty equipment & all the other 101 factors that plague a great many musicians working in a home based studio environment. Every moment I spend recording/producing big steps are being made – I don’t want to rush right now because things are going so well… they are just taking a little long than I expected but I can live with that if it means I get this right.”

Having this little extra time will mean there will be more new songs on the album & some of the older songs will get a better production making them that bit more special.

Additional song for the album – “Lets Get Funky” 2012 version of the original song written more than 15 years ago (at age 21).

“To everyone out there who has been waiting for the album release I would like to apologize for the delay & say how grateful I am particularly for how supportive & patient everyone has been – it means a lot & I do not take this for granted.”

Over the coming weeks up to Christmas there will be more previews as well as showcasing the long awaited “My Little Girl” video on YouTube which will lead up to the album release.

This November the long awaited AORPETE Debut Album “Past 2 PRESENT” will finally be released.
The album is completely non-profit in aid of the NORSACA charity.
(Nottinghamshire based charity that helps children & adults with autism)

Work still continues on the “Past 2 PRESENT” album with the first of the new songs “I just want to say” near to completion.

The song is based on the loss of a loved one & the emotions faced during such a difficult time. It follows an imaginary perspective view point of how two lovers still care for each other (beyond the grave) & the thoughts/emotions they feel even though they are worlds apart. Both can sense each others presence as the one (portrayed as a ghost) watches over the other, unable to reach out or be part of the physical world.

Also… due for release is the new “My Little Girl” video – a full performance of the song written for AORPETE’s youngest daughter Lia.

More music & videos on the way plus the official album release date so make sure you stay tuned!
